Friday Jarrett and I went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate Morgan's 3rd birthday (my friend's daughter)! Jarrett had a great time playing with Aiden ... it is amazing how quickly children grow up. Happy Birthday Morgan!
Saturday morning I went with my sister to her friend Katie's 'Celebration of Life' service. It was very emotional, more emotional than I expected. Katie was such a big part of my sister's life as we grew up...it is very sad to lose someone so young and full of life. She is home with Jesus now...but even in death God is using her life - at least 10 people received the gift of grace at her Celebration. He truly does work all things for good - even if we don't yet understand His 'higher ways'. My heart aches for her family's loss, especially her precious little ones. Please continue to pray for Jake, Jaydn, Brynne, Jacob, parents, family, and friends...
After the service, we went up to David's parents' home to celebrate Mother's Day with ALL the Moms! We had a great B.B.Q. and a nice time with both families. We are so blessed to have both of our mothers here with us and so close. There were a lot of plants/flowers going around! My Mom and Dad gave me tulips for Mother's day ... they smell heavenly and are beautiful (pictured here)!
After that, we went up to my parents' home to celebrate 101 years of birthdays! We combined the following birthdays: Melissa, David, and Misha!
I hope that I can continue in this state of celebrating ... never taking for granted the precious time we have here on earth, time with those we love, and most importantly, the precious gift of salvation through Christ. May His love brighten your day!

What an amazing celebration of life - the eternal kind!!! Her legacy will live on, as it should, with the precious gifts she left behind.
Congrats on a lovely celebration for you, also, my friend. I love the example you set daily in your home.
